Lehrein aayin, lehron mein beh gaye...

This week I have been continuously listening to the song Lehrein from Aisha. I liked this song earlier but it was not my favorite but as the favorite song changes by the mood you are in, this has become my favorite. Its lyrics are so beautifully sad..it is as if each and every line is what I want to say, especially the lines in the second stanza, kis se kahun kaun hai jo sune, kaante hi kyun maine hain chune, sapne mere kyun hain kho gaye, jaage hain kyun dil mein gham naye.

khoyi khoyi si hoon main

kyun ye dil ka haal hai

dhundhle saare khaab hain

uljha har khayaal hai

saari kaliyaan murjha gayin

rang unke yaadon mein reh gaye

saare gharonde ret ke,

lehrein aayin lehron mein beh gaye.

raah mein kal kitne charaag the,

saamne kal phoolon ke baag the

kis se kahun kaun hai jo sune,

kaante hi kyun maine hain chune

sapne mere kyun hain kho gaye

jaage hain kyun dil mein gham naye

saari kaliyaan murjha gayin

rang unke yaadon mein reh gaye

saare gharonde ret ke,

lehrein aayin lehron mein beh gaye.

Na na na na na na..

Na na na na na na…

Kya kahun kyun ye dil udaas hai

ab koi door hai na paas hai

chhoo le jo dil wo baatein ab kahan

wo din kahan raatein ab kahan

jo beeta kal hai ab khwab sa

ab dil mera hai betaab sa

saari kaliyaan murjha gayin

rang unke yaadon mein reh gaye

saare gharonde ret ke,

lehrein aayin lehron mein beh gaye..

It is so so beautiful. However badly the movie maybe panned or criticized, I loved Aisha. It actually shows that the way we plan our lives, it just doesn't work that way. We assume some things but reality is different. And the cosmic connection of the week. In Downton Abbey, Mary says, "Aren't all of us stuck with the choices we make?" Isn't this so similar to the line, kaante hi kyun maine hai chune. I am still not over those thoughts of regret. Whatever decision I take it backfires, and then I try to rationalize the choices I made by somehow convincing myself. That's the worst part because these are my choices, so the blame is on me too. 

Anyways this is the exam week..have some more stuff to write but later.

Dialogue of the week:

Hum kisi fairytale me nahi Delhi me rehte hai.. yahan hum rainbow nahi traffic ka dhuan hai..agar is me ek sitara bhi dikh jaye vahi bahut hai.

P.S. - I hear Amrita Puri is making waves in Kai Po Che. She is the same delightful Shefali in Aisha. A terrific actress.
